Q1:

ACC demainase gene is responsible for

A synthesis for ethylene

B degradation of ACC an immediate precursor to ethylene

C both (a) and (b)

D synthesis of polygalactouranase

ANS:B - degradation of ACC an immediate precursor to ethylene

ACC is responsible for ethylene production which exudes from the root of plant creating stress. This account deaminase gene deactivates this aac which is precursor for ethylene production.
